The Bell In The Fog And Other Stories gathers a haunting horizon of American gothic tales, where curiosity and fear walk hand in hand through turn of the century streets. These stories offer a compact, spellbinding blend of atmosphere, secrecy and moral ambiguity. Atherton's sharp gaze on Victorian America exposes social mores with a quiet, unsettling humour, turning ordinary life into a mirrors-and-mists meditation on desire, power, and consequence. The collection reads as a complete short story experience-not merely a string of curiosities, but a coherent journey through haunted parlours, fog-draped lanes and the san francisco gothic mood that still chills today. Historically significant and richly literary, this edition restores a key figure of American gothic to contemporary readers, honouring a craft that influenced later masters and darkly precise storytelling. It is both a graceful entry point for casual readers and a prize for classic-literature collectors who value provenance, texture and atmosphere in equal measure. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is more than a reprint-this is a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Restored for today's and future generations, the complete short story collection invites you to step into a world where hauntings reveal character, and where literature and history remain inseparable. A timeless anthology in a new light, perfect for lovers of Edgar Allan Poe inspired, san francisco gothic tales and the broader canon of American gothic stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50406581764333,"sku":"9789354755125","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/the-bell-in-the-fog-and-other-stories-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
